I have noticed a few missing chapters:

http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=18168

Amai Kuchibiru - Sweet Lips (yuri); Bunny's Road Part 1; Bunny's Road Part 2; Bunny's Road Part 3; 31 Degrees Celsius.

"Sweet Lips" and "31 Degrees Celsius" are already up, but you are missing all 3 chps of Bunny's Road (first two translated by Trine, last by Solelo).

Having user-editable tags, ala Danbooru, would be pretty cool. Or, basically, have a 'booru-esque system over all; tags, tag definitions in a wiki, ratings, etc.
Would reduce the workload for Mr. E and give me something to do- erm, I mean, give the readers something to give back. And kill time with.
Anyway, not sure at all how do-able that would, but yeah; food for thought, I guess?

I got a link for "Excuse" if there is still interest.

Noted.
Also, to be technical about it, it's not a doujin; it's published in Comp Ace.

Hmm, something seems to be up with the Morinaga Milk page; the two series "Even if we're not friends" and "Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom Pink" are both empty and have the same cover picture (the pic for the latter).

Looking at the description of "Even if we're not friends" it seems like it might be a continuation of the oneshot "Fall in Love", would that be true? If so, I'm pretty excited because I really loved that one-shot, lol. It would be great to find out it's a serialization, although looking over Morinaga's page in general it seems like there are a whole lot of series by her which are still only partially translated.

Fall in Love is similar but unrelated to Even If We're Not Friends. Even If We're Not Friends has been licensed by Seven Seas, which is why it's no longer on the reader. It's currently available for preorder and set to be released in June 2013: http://www.amazon.com/Kisses-Sighs-Cherry-Blossoms-Pink/dp/1937867315/

That's currently not going to happen, regardless of us being able to access the back end of the reader.
While the work is annoying, I don't feel like it's too much for me quite yet.
It's also a lot easier to keep people from waging tag wars/trolling as I'm sure some are going to do.

After quite a delay we finally finished with Anakris' Someday and AnaKris herself already gave permission for Dynasty to host both Someday and Breakdown.
I actually already finished with Someday's translation and type-setting a couple months ago, but unfortunately the quality-checking took much longer than expected because Midori is a busy person and our 8/9 hour time difference made it hard to catch her online at proper times.

You can download someday from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?z4scbthuctwm7k6
And if you don't already have access to Breakdown, you can grab it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvp8igwl6u8v4bh

So please add these on here when you get the chance to :)

I think a good compromise would be a "suggest tags" feature. Where anyone could submit tag changes, but they would need to be approved by a staff member before they take effect.

joined May 19, 2011

In order to decrease workload on the staff, how about allowing members to add tags, but also allowing other members to vote tags up or down? And then tags that have more down votes than up votes could be hidden or something...

Hi, Dynasty~!
While I can understand the desire to tweak, tune and detail the Reader, I'm a great believer in the old adage:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
And as far as I'm concerned, it ain't broke (aside from the Utilization/Bandwidth issues, which are external anyway), it only needs a little TLC.
So, to that end, here's my response to the points raised:

1) No resizing issues here - never had to use the button.
2) I'm not generally a denizen of the Forums (but will use them to respond/opine if requested), so I'm not too worried about any changes there.
3) Twitter gives me the creeps - never was a fan of any of those sites.
4) I like the 'Most popular' as it is now - barring unforseen resets, it works well, and I enjoy tracking a chapter's progress.
5) I agree that input on tagging could be easily handled by the existing Forums. You are all very responsive to them, which is the real reason that works.
6) Personal item: A request for the ability to search by tags from the Recently Added page. :)
7) Personal item: A request for links to the various Scanlation Groups home pages from either the pulldown or the right-hand pane.

Overall, I have long enjoyed the simplicity, functionality and compactness (read: low click count) of the Reader, and would love to see that remain its strongest feature. As well, as I mentioned earlier, you really don't need to give yourselves any more work. What you already do is an obvious labor of love, and we're all the richer for it.

Thanks for letting me throw this out there -- for whatever it's worth.

Appreciate the feedback, and we do agree that simplicity is key for the reader.
For that very reason the new version should actually be simpler and even easier to use (More organized etc.)
We think that the changes we're discussing should impact the site for the better, although we'll make sure to take your input into consideration. Thanks!

How do you add a series to one of your reading lists? Since the site's down-time, the option doesn't appear to be there while reading a chapter.
